The Employer Value Proposition: What the CHRO Needs to Know

Your Employer Value Proposition (EVP) or why someone wants to work for you, should clearly define your organization’s culture, employee experience, employer brand and work environment. Once owned by marketing and communication departments, EVP and employer branding is now under the HR and talent acquisition functions. A strong, descriptive EVP supported by the employer brand helps companies attract talent and makes the task of sourcing simpler. But, a weak EVP and brand, or one that misrepresents your company y culture, can have a negative impact on your overall talent acquisition strategy. Organizations today face a unique set of challenges related to employer branding, including how to: customize the EVP for different regions and effectively communicate that EVP to a diverse workforce. You’ll learn the critical elements of defining, communicating, and using the EVP and brand to ensure your organization can compete for the most sought-after talent.
